The Nuclear War You Didn’t Know About

A
thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) can
produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million
tons of TNT.‪ A
nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by
blast, fire, and radiation.
Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of
mass destruction, and their use and
control has been a major focus of international
relations policy since their debut.

The Treaty
on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, commonly known as the
Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT, is an international treaty whose objective is
to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote
cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and to further the goal of
achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament.

Five states
have signed up to the NPT: the US, UK, Russia, France and China. Between them
they have declared 22,000 nuclear weapons in stock. These five Nuclear
Weapons States (NWS) have made undertakings not to use their nuclear weapons
against a non-NWS party except in response to a nuclear attack. India, Pakistan
and N.Korea have also declared stocks of nuclear weapons. Israel is widely
known to have nuclear weapons but does not declare it.

As of 2009,
only the US is known to have provided nuclear weapons for sharing. Germany,
Belgium, Netherlands, Italy and Turkey are still hosting U.S. nuclear weapons
as part of NATO’s nuclear sharing policy. Canada and Greece withdrew and no
longer participate.

However, the
USA sticks to the old policy that goes back to 1945 – to monopolise the right
to use nuclear weapons by making their non-proliferation part of international
law in combination with new restrictive measures against others.

In his book Towards a World War III Scenario: The
Dangers of Nuclear War, Michel Chossudovsky tells us about the
interconnection between the Pentagon and US corporations. The book says the US
Congress okay’d the use of tactical nuclear weapons in non-conventional wars in
2003. According to congressmen it was quite “safe for civilians”.

In intensive
warfare conditions, up-to-date tactical nuclear weapons can create an illusion
of their absence on the battlefield when used together with conventional
weapons. For instance, according to Russian military experts nuclear munitions
of a new generation were used in Lebanon
in 2006 during the operation against Hezbollah. The soil samples
taken from craters had traces of enriched uranium. At the same time there was
no gamma radiation and isotope of cesium 137 resulting from radioactive decay.
The radiation level was high inside the craters but went down approximately by
half at the distance of just a few meters away.According to
U.S. military sources, the first
detonation of a nuclear weapon against another country since 1945 took
place approximately 11 miles east of Basra, Iraq sometime between February 2
and February 5, 1991.

By then,
Iraq’s former capital had been declared a “free fire on zone” – open to
carpet-bombing by high-flying formations of eight-engine B-52s. “Basra is a
military town in the true sense,” military spokesman General Richard Neal told
the press. “The infrastructure, military infrastructure, is closely interwoven
within the city of Basra itself.”

Though the
soon-to-be fired General Neal claimed there were no civilians left in Basra,
the city was actually sheltering some 800,000 terrified residents. In direct
violation of Article 51
of the Geneva Protocols, which prohibits area bombing, the B-52s commenced
saturation grid-bombing of the city. Mixing fuel-air bombs with
shrapnel-spraying cluster bombs, the bombers leveled entire city blocks, the
Los Angeles Times reported, leaving “bomb craters the size of football fields,
and an untold number of casualties.” [Washington Post Feb 2/91; Los Angeles
Times Feb 5/91]

With the
city of Basra resounding to gigantic
explosions, and engulfed in “a hellish nighttime of fires and smoke so
dense that witnesses say the sun hasn’t been clearly visible for several days
at a time,” a 5-kiloton
GB-400 nuclear bomb exploding 11 miles away under the desert attracted no
notice.

Under the
cover of massive Depleted Uranium tipped bombs that raised dirty mushroom
clouds in thunderous explosions that rained radioactive dust over Jalalabad and
nearby villages, the first nuclear bombs dropped since Basra in 1991 were
detonated by American forces in Afghanistan beginning in March
2002.

Before their
field tests were concluded, United States forces would explode four 5-kiloton
GBU-400 nuclear bombs in Tora Bora and other mountainous regions of Afghanistan
and was so powerful that it actually created
an earthquake there.

The use of
such lethal weapons by US military, which is a gross violation of the Geneva
Convention, has been sanctioned by both US presidents Bush and Obama; thus
they should be prosecuted for war crimes, as it is a nuclear war.

The
classification of DU munitions as weapons of indiscriminate effect is defined
in the 1st Protocol addition to the Geneva Conventions. Their use is a war
crime.

The US
military contends that “mini-nukes” are “humanitarian
bombs” which minimize “collateral damage”. According to scientific opinion
on contract to the Pentagon, they are “harmless to the surrounding civilian
population because the explosion is underground.”

The B61-11
is a bona fide thermonuclear bomb, a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) in the
real sense of the word.

Military
documents distinguish between the Nuclear
Earth Penetrator (NEP) and the “mini-nuke”, which are nuclear weapons with
a yield of less than 10 kilotons (two-thirds of a Hiroshima bomb). The NEP can
have a yield of up to a 1000 kilotons, or seventy times a Hiroshima bomb.

This
distinction between mini-nukes and the NEP is in many regards misleading. In
practice there is no dividing line. We are broadly dealing with the same type
of weaponry: the B61-11 has several “available yields”, ranging from “low
yields” of less than one kiloton, to mid-range, and up to the 1000-kiloton
bomb.

In all
cases, the radioactive fallout is devastating. Moreover, the B61 series of
thermonuclear weapons includes several models with distinct specifications: the
B61-11, the B61-3, B61- 4, B61-7 and B61-10. Each of these bombs has several
“available yields”.

The latest
in the series, the B61-12 is classed by many as the most dangerous
nuclear weapon ever due to it being the first guided missile with dial-in
yields making proliferation a real threat.

What is
contemplated for theatre of war use is the “low yield” 10 kt bomb, two-thirds
of a Hiroshima bomb. What allows it to happen is the disinformation and
propaganda issued that these weapons are somehow not really nuclear weapons –
they are.

These
weapons are called ‘micro-nukes’ as if somehow that makes it better or
legal. We know that tactical nuclear weapons or mini-nukes are part of the
US-NATO arsenal and that they were cleared for use in the conventional war
theatre by the US Senate in 2002. Rather bizarrely, these weapons can be used
without the approval of the Commander in Chief.

As prof.
Chossudovsky from Global
Research asserts, “the “evidence” of a nuclear
attack against Yemen (see video) remains unconfirmed, the use of
mini-nukes against countries in the Middle East has been on the Pentagon’s
drawing board for almost 20 years. In 1996 under the Clinton administration,
the B61-11 tactical nuclear weapon was slated to be used by the US in an attack
against Libya.”

Nuclear
weapons will now proliferate as a direct result of American use. It is known
that Israel enjoys the luxury of around 80
nuclear weapons, deliverable with great precision to any spot in Iran from
land, air or sea. It is not a signatory of the Non Proliferation Treaty.

As the
conflict in Syria rages on, concerns emerge as a result of the use of depleted
uranium shells (DU) in Iraq. This from bandepleteduranium.org
– 1/2/2015 – Citizens of Raqqa in Northern Syria, are concerned over the
long-term impact of the growing number of strikes by Coalition forces on their
city and nearby villages.

In a report to the United
Nations on DU, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) warned that:
“in a post-conflict environment, the presence of depleted-uranium residues
further increases the anxiety of local populations”. The collective experience
of communities grappling with the public health and environmental legacy of
conflict, and the known or suspected presence of radioactive materials, is a
contagious cocktail that can have a lasting psychological impact on the memory
of people. These concerns have now spread to Syria.

It appears
that Israel
has used DU rounds as widely reported in
Jamraya, Syria. It is just a matter of time before we find out which other
country has been contaminating Syria. So awful are these weapons the
international community is heading towards an outright ban of their future
use.

The collapse
of Russia’s relationship with the West in the last five years has ended hopes
of further progress of non-proliferation as the super-powers intend on
upgrading and increasing their weapons systems and nuclear arsenals.

Pakistan is
now deploying short-range battlefield nuclear weapons designed to deter Indian
tank columns. Only four months ago, General Khalid Kidwai, the former
director of Pakistan’s powerful Strategic Plans Division, the country’s main
nuclear planning body, declared that Pakistan’s nukes “are not seen as separate
weapons”, but are “very much integrated” with conventional forces.

To recap –
nuclear weapons, whether under the guise of ‘depleted uranium munitions’, ‘mini
nukes’, ‘bunker busters’ are quite simply nuclear weapons that leave a legacy
of long-term death and destruction.
